About This Item
Norwich, [Conn.]: printed by John Trumbull, 1802. 228pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Contemporary calf-backed paper boards. 228pp. 1 vols. 12mo. A later edition of this famous account of the wars between Indians and colonists in 17th-century New England. Hubbard was born in England and came to the colonies in 1635, eventually becoming pastor of the church in Ipswich, Massachusetts. He was closely involved in the government of the colony during King Philip's War, and this work, along with those of Increase and Cotton Mather, is the best and fullest account of the events of the struggle in Massachusetts. Hubbard and Increase Mather differed with each other on a number of points, and this book seems to have ignited the envy of the latter. "[Hubbard] was distinguished, in an age and country of bigots, for his liberality, moderation, and piety, and his narrative has always been regarded as authoritative by historians" (Church). "A cornerstone authority on the field" (Howes). Sabin 33449; Howes H756
